It investigates their aesthetics of violence, pain, the abhorrent, and the 'uglification' of the feminine to unravel what makes them transgressive and uncommodifiable. It probes the ways in which these works destroy the regimentation of the 'ideal' body.ArtsCaribbean literature (French)Human body in literaturePain in literatureWomen authorsArtsCaribbean literature (French)Human body in literaturePain in literatureWomen authors840.9928709729Francis Gladys M1614413BOOK9910826519203321Odious Caribbean women and the palpable aesthetics of transgression3944232UNINA
